Honda shine a complete city package

2 years ago by Prathamesh Tapkir1,983 views

It's been nearly 3 years since I purchased the bike. I was confused between Honda shine and tvs centuro at that time but showed confidence in Honda shine. I had bought the bike from dealership near me in pane. Right from start all the agents there helped me a lot in buying process, pre- delivery inspection and all. In all if i want to rate the buying experience out of 5 stars I will give 5 stars. You sit in very comfortable position, so you can do long trips without much tiredness. Clutch is also not on a stiffer side, so it gets easy to do quick gear changes giving you a comfortable ride in city traffic as well. If I want to rate riding experience out of 5 I will give 4 stars. If I speak about looks of the bike, it is quite a stylish looking bike for city commute and the blacked out alloy wheels add more style in the overall look. It's 125cc engine gives a good power in city as well on highway. You will reach 100km/h easily but after that you will feel little vibration and are easily felt. You never feel out power in any situation and accelerates really quickly. The maintenance cost of honda shine is really very low. While it may vary from person to person on it's usage what the maintenance cost will be. But it is on the lower side as compared to other. The servicing can also vary from person to person, dealership to dealership. But I personally service the bike every 3 months and that costs me around INR 800 for oil change, washing, oiling, and other overall servicing. I have been using this bike for nearly 3 years now. While speaking about my long term experience, the bike has constantly delivered mileage of about 60 to 65 per liter which is definitely a good thing. As the user since 3 years, the performance and mileage is almost constant and not changed a lot. Though there is a slight noise in gear shift now but it's not a cause of concern and is negligible. Pros : stylish looking, good mileage, no lack in performance & power, best bike for city commute, comfortable seating position, not much costly, good dealer network. Cons : little engine noise, chain slips most frequently, disc brake little tighter. Overall it's a good package and a best budget buy for middle class people. It provides a complete package required for daily commute.

Tips for Honda Shine

Do servicing after about 3 months.

I bought the bike for 66500 only and till now the riding experience is very smooth and good. It looks good in this range it's awesome and slim and the handling of the bike is good compared to other bikes in this range. Servicing and maintenance of bikes are too low you can only spend 1000 for servicing is too much.
Pros-
1. Low maintenance
2. Good mileage and good speed
3. Proper seat and comfortable to ride.
Cons-
1. Speedometer can be digital like sp
2. One more gear is required like a sp.

The worst bike, the engine suddenly stopped. Repaired many times but again and again, the problem is coming. Total money wasted. No response when complained to customer care. Please, don't buy this bike and face trouble. Two to three managers call and ask the complaint but they didn't take any action. Started giving trouble in 8 months itself. Not even completed 1 year.

The fuel tank cap problem not shutting, in the running engine is going on and off, in this problem riding in traffic is very difficult and feel shame, its jerks and off, when you apply sudden brake changing gears from 3rd to 1st is a problem etc. Earlier I am having passion which I rode for up to 17 years and never gave any problems.

I brought this bike on December 30 2020 in ghr honda showroom at kodad.
I used this bike for 2 years.
It was newly launched at the time.
I didn't take anyone's suggestion and went and took this bike.
Everything was okay for 1 year but I was facing many problems (like the battery being down, the front doom lights not working, and clutch problems like that) major problem with this bike was the engine was a very bad performance.
Oil leakage from engine.
I have had a bad experience with this bike no one chooses this bike I tell you of my personal experience.
And also don't buy bikes in ghr honda showroom. No one responds to customers and service is very bad.
